Sabre rattling

He has to keep the ERG group and far right wingers happy.

Good to see you're as up-to-date as ever; the General Election's results would indicate that he has to keep former labourite lefties in the 'red-wall' happy.

The red wall Labour idiot voters dont vote in the House of Commons and the next General Election is 5 years away.

If you don't know that all politicians are focused on their next election, you don't know any very well...

Don’t underestimate the power of the public or farmers for that matter. Both French and German farmers are far more militant than those here ...... so far!

I know, I'm one of them, thankfully!
And Sharon from Manchester was telling us that food is so expensive here ,as she can get 20 sausages for a pound at home!
Mrs lbp said after she wouldn't feed them to the dog.

As a farmer you should already know the results of the egg cage ban, pig stall ban and where horse meat found it's way into UK markets.

Same with Hepititus E in German Pig meat. Ash die back imported into the UK from the EU.

A classic current example is the banning of Nicotinoids .. banned in the UK but grown in the Ukraine and imported by the millions of tonnes into the UK.

Same with GM Soya .. banned in the UK but imported by the millions of tonnes into the UK .. whilst the Amazon rain forest is flattened to facilitate new imports for Anti Milk "Environmentalists" or should I say "Mentalists".

Ukraine is not in the EU

I think I know the sort of sausages you refer to, with artificial skins filled with a homogeneous white tasteless mass. Fish and chip shops also sell them covered in batter.

From some frozen food place but I can't remember which.
No chippies here.

Use of nicotinoids is banned in the UK but not in the EU. Just one example of an uneven playing field when it comes to environmental issues. The EU does not always uphold the highest standards nor does it enforce them.

Bloody is banned here!
France lead the field in banning chemicals.

Sweeping statement like I said.

Just as well the Heathrow proposal got kicked down the road - we've got a bloody great drawbridge to build at Dover!

France may lead the way in banning chemicals rightly or wrongly. I am merely suggesting that the EU should climb down off their high horse, stop behaving like God and realise that their standards and enforcement are not the best. We could have many grounds for banning EU imports into the UK in future.

Greenland population 56,000, so similar to Grantham 44,000 and a few surrounding villages.

Greenland's probably prettier tbf

Sorry Martin but there is no way the public will throw their arms up in anger because chicken washed in chlorine is being sold in Wetherspoons, those that do will simply not buy it and this will empower Boris as he say “it’s not for government to dictate what British people should buy, it’s their right to choose” and the Boris lovers will be unable to contain themselves.

Woody Johnson already neutralised that in the press last week by finding some process or another that the EU does too

By the way are you an egg producer, given your “handle”??

No afraid not, family joke that I was fussy about fried eggs being runny when I was a child.

Have to agree with you, fried eggs should always be runny, so you can dip your soda and potato bread in them?

Good answer. No one else can cook my fried eggs after experiencing sickly uncooked white yuk as a kid. Egg has to land in a red hot pan

 

[arcobob]

Edwina Curry advised "over easy" for frying eggs, or was that John Major?

Austria led the way with glyphosate- tossers

Yes we ALL know we have to meet their specs to sell into their market just as we do to any country BUT they are going way beyond that and are trying to say we have to abide by THEIR environmental, employment and government aid rules etc etc, NO country would accept that, does NZ ? They are trying to make our companies uncompetitive with not only theirs but to any market in the world, as much as exporters here want free trade with the EU they wont want their hands tied to rules that put them at a disadvantage to non EU countries.
For instance they want us to commit to banning any chem they dont like, not only for use in products sold to them but to our worldwide exports and home use.

For me to sell into the EU I have to abide by the criteria set by them, this includes environmental and employment rules, it may somewhere in the regulations also include government aid, as we do not receive any I have no need to fulfil that requirement, it does restrict me on the chemicals I can use and when I can spray, as the EU is my biggest market I obviously abide by those rules, if I don't I cannot sell to them.
Why do you object to having to meet standards to sell into a market, particularly as this is your biggest single market? The simplest solution would be to align yourself to that market and as the UK has been doing this for several years it should not be too difficult.

You don`t have to look very far. VW cars, Polish beef, sundry "beef products" including Irish, wonky egg products, dodgy "olive oil" and I am sure that there are many more.

BSE, Foot and Mouth?
